jay carney mentioned social security could be part of some grand bargain. senate democrats especially harry reid do not want to such social security. so i think there will somebody road blocks there. it will take negotiation through all three chambers to get something done. two chambers, excuse me. >> andy, who blinks first? >> i would say the president has more leverage at this point. after the election, there's been a lot of soul searching on the republican side about can we not appeal to latinos, are we losing women. and if we do go over the fiscal cliff, there's a chance republicans will get blamed for that and they could lose support in the business community. there's another factor here. if all tax rateses for americans rise on january 1st, the president can just come back and say, hey, i've got a great idea, let's cut taxes for everybody except for the top two income brackets. >> shera, do you think a deal will be reached before january 1st? >> i think we'll see a deal. whether or not it's a good deal is in question. they could still kick the can dow

but i think it's disingenuous for jay carney to come out and say today, republicans haven't moved at all. republicans have moved. they have come to the table with revenue raisers. it's the democrats that haven't moved at all. i do think that after the first of the year, it's not good to have the fight. the reason for that is they are just fighting over the tax cuts for the rich, that is a p.r. battle that the president wants, because he knows he will win. >> greg: this was supposed to be about spending, and taxes. now it's just about taxes. it's like ignoring cancer and treating a cold sore. it's always going to be about spending. the worst thing, president obama never has to explain, ever, why raising taxes on the 2% would help. or hurt the economy. most people believe that it will hurt the economy. he gets more free rides than a hot hitchhiker. at some point, we have to question president obama's obsession with a certain segment of the population. if the rich were justin bieber, obama would be arrested for stalking. >> eric: that is another great line. >> bob: one thing he has goin

. >> jay carney came out on friday, he would veto anything that extends tax rates for anyone over 20 on,000. the chances of america going off the cliff was 30%. >> he made no concessions at all. the problem that the president has, above all, we're talking like accountants here, what he needs above all is economic growth. 3% to 4% growth. that's what carried reagan and clinton in their second terms. >> i agree with paul gigot. americans want growth and investment. you can't get growth and investment in spending cuts. i think part of the problem we're having, george, is the fundamental assumptions overriding this entire discussion. senator murray said that we have a big debt and deficit problem, no we don't. we have a big jobs problem. we're not greece. austerity, if you believe on evidence in politics and economic, look at what's going on in europe, austerity, american-style in this country, has led to economic pain, has led to killing growth. killing growth. >> wait a minute. >> debt and deficit. >> how do american people let all of these members of congress, the senate and the presi

they have pom poms in their hands when they see jay carney or the president. clearly not believe the fact that since the summer the attorney general had this information and not once did he take it to the president. this deals with two men at the highest levels of our government in both intelligence and military community. there is president obama way to believe that someone in the white house didn't know about that. >> brian: i understand the president gets briefed regularly by robert muller. how did that not come up, by the way, we're investigating the c.i.a. director? >> now we've got the intelligence apparatus investigating itself. there is one of two things happening. either there is a complete break down in respect and communication with the white house and nobody is talking to anybody else, or, in fact, this is also a lie, leading up to the election, there are a lots of things hidden. we know that the administration lied about benghazi effectively. we know they didn't tell us about iran shooting at a drone a week out before the election. we know that th

and the press secretary, jay carney, is i think likewise, subject to legitimate criticism. i assume that he has access to information and for many days, maybe not 73 days, but they have done everything they could not to get the facts out. if they want to end it, it's simple, just get the facts out. quit trying to hide them. i don't understand why everyone gives them the pass except cbs and fox on that. >> exactly, gret a. that's the bottom line. just be straight with the people. that's all we expect of our government, is honesty. so that we can, as the people being served, so we can judge the decisions being made. and jay carney, just so obstinate and arrogant really, in his replies and in his exarchals with the media over this. if i were a member of the media, being talked to and scolded as jay carney does to them, i would be quite offended and it would make me want to be an even better reporter and better investigator of what the facts truly are with this libya tragedy. >> the dirty little secret in washington, on both sides of the aisle, you will lose access -- you have

>> well, i certainly think wouldn't call it welcome. >> that was jay carney today, trying to explain how the president feels about the mess that is the petraeus affair. in the spotlight tonight, another day, another four star general investigated. this time it is general john allen who took over as commander of the u.s. forces in afghanistan and petraeus became director of the cia. in october, allen was also nominated by the president to be the supreme allied commander in europe, but the white house put that nomination on hold after it found out that allen is currently being investigated by the defense department for sending potentially inappropriate and flirtatious e-mails to jill kelley, the same jill kelley who received questionable e-mails from paula broadwell. the fbi's investigation into those e-mails eventually revealed broadwell's affair with general petraeus which eventually led to petraeus' resignation. remember her fbi friend that started the investigation? turns out he was also the person who called house majority leader eric cantor and told him what he knew. one more cha

ok jay carney also thought that it was comical. let's watch. >> you put a couple of sentences on it's not a plan to say that we're going to magically increase revenues through loopholes, closures and deduction caps approximate with not a single element of specificity. we don't know who pays. we don't know what we're talking about in terms of actual legislation to increase revenues. it's magic beans and fairy dust. >> i have not heard of the term magic beans. it's interesting. he says $800 billion in revenue. he's going to lower the tax rates anyway. he never explained it, did he, michael? >> not once. there was zero specificity, as carney said, you would have to read the letter and see. >> cenk: just trust me, nonsense right? the $600 billion changes to medicare and medicaid, they're cutting mandatory programs, cutting discretionary spending, $300 billion and by the way $200 billion in cuts to social security but changing the consumer price index. as you look at this, it looks really unpopular. >> it is, too. boehner's in a tough s
